Exclusion handling
This allows the administrator to exclude certain files from being scanned, allowing you to improve performance by customizing your on-access scanner. Customers who wish to centrally configure Mac exclusions can still use the Mac configuration tool, Sophos Update Manager, that is already included in Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X.

Details of how to configure exclusion handling can be found in the online Help.
